Review Highlights:

TigTag makes teaching science in the elementary grades so much easier. With high quality, content rich videos, "Did you know?" short videos, and quizzes, the teacher can offer a mini lesson, show the videos, reflect, and the student will have a strong base of facts to work with which to work. The interface is simple to use. Even a "non-techy" teacher will be clicking around for the right video to watch in no time. It's a wonderful alternative to reading out of a text book as well. Students should learn to gather information from multiple resources and be able to extract important and relevant facts as they begin their education in science. TigTag is THE place to get your video based science information. Well done Tig Tag!
